If you would like to donate new or gently-used books to Makara, please visit our online catalog to learn about the books Makara is seeking for its collection. Books will be shelved in our Library & Art Center, used to stock our stewarded Little Free Libraries, or shared with our partners at emergency shelters and transitional housing sites. Twice a year, Makara hosts a book sale of discarded library books and duplicates to help support our nonprofit library and educational programs.

Makara's Library & Art Center is focused on global arts & culture. Based on reader interest and our mission, we have set the following guidelines:

YES, PLEASE!

New books, books in good to excellent condition

Research nonfiction on history, economics, environment

Narrative nonfiction and personal essays on feminism, race, international persepectives
